Thanks very much for the helpful information! 

There is a place in Skatelöv parish called Prästgården Skatelöv - do you think that is what was being referred to the first question?- and that it meant that he was working for someone else (on their farm), he likely didn't have a farm of his own? 

Thanks also for clarifying what the "cryptic" notes are!  I still have yet to find a household record that references a court case, so am not sure what it might look like.  Since there are no indexes to the court records (yet anyway), I am hoping to run across a reference to one in the household records!  :)

The first child, described as weak and poor, is interesting because of the relatively recent timeframe we are talking about (1831-1838). I can all the more easily understand the appeal of emigration, if it meant owning their own land/farm.

Thanks again for your help!
